Welcome and Thank You
Welcome and thank you for purchasing this EdgeStar® wine cooler. Once you
complete our easy unit set up by following this manual, it will provide you and
your family years of great service.
If you are reading this owner's manual, you've probably already unpacked the
unit. Note that you should save the packaging in case you need to safely
transport this wine cooler in the future.
In order to assemble this wine cooler, carefully
unpack all parts. The only assembly required is that
of the handle(s). In order to install a handle, you
need a Phillips head screwdriver, the handle(s), and
the two installation screws.
• Open the door of the wine cooler.
• Locate the two screw holes on the inside of
the door (they may be partially obscured by
the door liner gasket.
• Insert the screws into the holes. They should
now poke out of the front of the door.
• Line up the holes in the handle with the
screws and give each screw about 2-4 full
turns into the handle.
• Now screw the screws in all the way, and
your handle is installedf
After you get the handle(s) installed, make sure that your wine cooler is fully
unpacked, and position it into your preferred location (remember, for the best
conditions for your wine, choose a spot in a cool (room temperature) area,
away from direct sunlight leaving about 2-4 inches around al_[sides,
specifically the back for adequate ventilation. Make sure the unit is set on a
sturdy surface that can support its weight.
Note: that you can screw in and out the legs to level the unit. You may also
want to clean the interior with a solution of mild soap and water and a damp
cloth. Then plug the unit in, set the temperature, and fill it with wine.
At what temperatures should you set the wine cooler? Experts differ in
opinion, butwe recommend low to mid50's (F) for whites and mid 60's (F) for
reds. Enjoyf
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

power strip. Please ensure that the appliance is plugged directly into an
electrical outlet.
• When positioning the wine cooler, ensure that there is at least a 2"
clearance on each side with 4" directly behind the cooler. This will
ensure adequate ventilation of heat from the back of the cooler.
• This cooler is designed to store wine bottles. If food is placed inside,
ensure that there is sufficient airflow between items. Also note that the
temperature range for this cooler is optimized for wine and beverage
storage. Perishable food items may require a different storage
environment.
• Do not place hot food or drinks into the wine cooler before they cool
down to room temperature.
• Please close the cooler door immediately after putting in or taking out
wine in order to prevent inside temperature from dramatically changing.
• Avoid subjecting the cooler to external heat sources or direct sunlight.
• For a stable installation, make sure the cooler is placed on a flat, level,
and solid surface.

Note: The above diagram is for reference only- your specific model of wine
cooler will likely differ slightly from the diagram above (in light placement,
bottle capacity, etc,) but its operation will be essentially the same.
3. Operation
The Temperature Control
Your wine cooler uses a digital control to adjust the thermostat-
Adjust the temperature using the up and down arrows located on the wine
cooler.
Interior Light
Your wine cooler is equipped with an interior light with an on/off switch. Turn
the light on or off by pressing the switch.
Leveling Legs
Your wine cooler is shipped with leveling legs installed. To adjust these
leveling legs, carefully lean the cooler to one side (make sure the cooler is
empty and the door is secured) and unscrew the leveling legs to make them
longer. Screw them in tighter to make them shorter.
Note: This cooler is not designed to operate with the leveling legs removed.
Bottle Capacity
Bottle capacity listed for yourwine cooler is an estimated maximum capacity
based on standard 750 mL wine bottles. For any other size bottles, capacity
will vary.
Racks
Please note that the racks for your cooler have a top and a bottom. Ifyou are
having trouble fitting the stated number of bottles in the cooler (provided you
have standard wine bottles),try flipping over one or moreracks.
Also note that yourwine cooler (depending upon the model) may have more
"slots" for racksthan the number of racks providedwith the unit.Additional
racks may be purchased from your retailer.
Door Lock (not standard on all models)
Some models of wine cooler have a factory installed lock with keys.The lock
is inset to the door. To lock your cooler, insertthe key into the lock and turn
the key until the metaltab is fully extended.
To unlockyour cooler, insert the key into the lock and turn until the metal tab
is fully retracted back into the door.
Caution: Make sure to keep the key in a safe place and out of reach of
children- to prevent child entrapment.
Cleaning the Cooler
• Unplug your cooler. Removeall items from it (wine bottles,shelves,
etc.)
• Clean the inside surfaces with a mild cleaner. We suggest you use
either warm water alone, or a baking soda solution (try mixing 2
tablespoons of baking soda into a quart of water.)
• Clean thewire shelves/trays (if you have them)with a mild detergent
solution.
• Clean thewooden shelves/trays (ifyou have them)with asoft cloth and
wood cleaner.
• Wash the outside of the cooler with a mild detergent solution.
• Dry any wet partswith a softcloth.
Caution: make sure to minimize the exposure of water to any electronic or
control parts.
Extended Periods of Disuse
Your cooler can operate safely for three weeks or longer without any
adjustments. However, if the cooler is to be left alone for several months, you
should unplug it and clean it according to the instructions above. Pay special
attention to drying the interior.
Now set the unit aside somewhere out of the reach of children. You may want
to crack the door slightly to prevent mold growth or odour.
Transporting the Cooler
The ideal packaging for you cooler is its original packaging. If possible, keep
this packaging handy and repack the cooler as it was initially packed if you
need to transport it.
If you do not have the original packaging:
• Make surethe cooler isturned offand unplugged.
• Remove all items.
• Remove shelves and any other loose itemswithin the cooler.
• Shut the door and tape it closed.
• Transport the cooler in a secure, upright position along with its shelves.
• Protect the outside of the coolerwith Styrofoam, cardboard, a blanket,
etc.
Energy Efficiency Tips
Locate your cooler in the coolest area ofthe room.
Locate your cooler away from direct sunlight or any heat-producing sources,
as this will force the cooler to work even harder, making it less likely to cool
your wine properly.
Let any hot foods ordrinks cool before placing them inside the cooler.
5. Troubleshooting
Your EdgeStar wine cooler is a thermoelectric refrigeration unit that uses
"green" thermoelectric cooling to store your wine under ideal conditions.
What are the benefits of thermoelectric cooling?
• Low energy usage
• No vibration
• Cools with little noise- the only noise produced is by the fans used to
dissipate heat.
What are some of its limitations?
• Cooling takes longer than with equivalent compressor-based units- you
must allow 24 hours or more for the unit to reach its lowest temperature
• Fans run constantly
• Units are more sensitive to ambient temperature, sunlight conditions,
and potentially loading conditions- they may not cool to their theoretical
minimum temperature under adverse conditions
Symptoms
The wine
cooler does
not turn on.
The wine
cooler will not
reach the
desired
temperature
Frost is
forming in the
wine cooler
Possible causes
There is a power
failure.
The cooler is not
plugged in.
A house fuse has
blown or the circuit
breaker is tripped.
The cooler is placed
too close to a heat
source.
The cooler does not
have sufficient
ventilation.
The door is opened
too frequently or for a
long period of time.
The environment is
humid.
The ambient
temperature is too
low.
The door is being
opened too
frequently.
Solutions
Ensure the cooler is
plugged in and the
power outlet has power.
Replace the broken fuse
in your fuse box or reset
the breaker.
Keep the cooler away
from sunshine or other
heat sources.
Make sure the wine
cooler has several
inches of ventilation on
the sides and back.
Close the door tightly
and do not open the door
too frequently or for a
long period of time.
Though the unit uses an
"auto-defrost" system,
under certain conditions,
manual defrosting may
be required. If frost
builds up, you can try
running the cooler on a
warmer temperature
setting, minimizing the
number of times you
open the door, or
unplugging the unit to
allow the frost to melt.
Symptoms
The cooler
turns on and
off frequently.
The cooler
makes too
much noise.
The door will
not shut
properly.
Possible causes
The room
temperature ishigher
than the
recommended
ambient temperature
(77°F).
The door is being
opened often.
The door is not
completely closed.

completely closed.
Make sure the door
gasket is properly
sealing.
Make sure the cooler
has at least 2" on the
sides and 4" in the back
for clearance.
The fan makes normal
fan noises when
operating- this is normal.
Make sure the cooler is
on a level surface.
Some popping or
crackling noises are
normal. They are caused
by expansion and
contraction of the inside
walls due to temperature
changes.
Make sure the cooler is
on a level surface.
Clean the door gasket.
